Cosmology intertwined: A review of the particle physics, astrophysics, and cosmology associated with the cosmological tensions and anomalies

E Abdalla, GF Abellán, A Aboubrahim, A Agnello… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Elsevier
Abstract The standard Λ Cold Dark Matter (ΛCDM) cosmological model provides a good
description of a wide range of astrophysical and cosmological data. However, there are a …

[HTML][HTML] Observational evidence for primordial black holes: A positivist perspective

BJ Carr, S Clesse, J Garcia-Bellido, MRS Hawkins… - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
We review numerous arguments for primordial black holes (PBHs) based on observational
evidence from a variety of lensing, dynamical, accretion and gravitational-wave effects. This …

Footprints of the QCD crossover on cosmological gravitational waves at pulsar timing arrays

G Franciolini, D Racco, F Rompineve - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) have reported evidence for a stochastic gravitational wave (GW)
background at nanohertz frequencies, possibly originating in the early Universe. We show …

Implications for the non-Gaussianity of curvature perturbation from pulsar timing arrays

L Liu, ZC Chen, QG Huang - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The recently released data by pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations present strong
evidence for a stochastic signal consistent with a gravitational-wave background. Assuming …

The present and future status of heavy neutral leptons

AM Abdullahi, PB Alzás, B Batell… - Journal of Physics G …, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
The existence of nonzero neutrino masses points to the likely existence of multiple Standard
Model neutral fermions. When such states are heavy enough that they cannot be produced …

What is the source of the PTA GW signal?

J Ellis, M Fairbairn, G Franciolini, G Hütsi, A Iovino… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The most conservative interpretation of the nHz stochastic gravitational wave background
(SGWB) discovered by NANOGrav and other pulsar timing array (PTA) collaborations is …

Quintessential interpretation of the evolving dark energy in light of DESI observations

Y Tada, T Terada - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The recent result of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) in combination with
other cosmological data shows evidence of the evolving dark energy parametrized by the w …

Inert Higgs Dark Matter for CDF II -Boson Mass and Detection Prospects

YZ Fan, TP Tang, YLS Tsai, L Wu - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
The W-boson mass, which was recently measured at Fermilab with an unprecedented
precision, suggests the presence of new multiplets beyond the standard model (SM). One of …

Cosmological gravitational particle production and its implications for cosmological relics

EW Kolb, AJ Long - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2024 - APS
Cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) is the creation of particles in an
expanding universe due solely to their gravitational interaction. These particles can play an …
